Then Bro Joseph arose and said, to receive revelation and the blessing of heaven it was necessary
to have our minds on god and exercise faith and become of one heart and of one mind therefore he recommended all present to pray separately and vocally to the Lord for to receive his will unto us concerning the
upbuilding of Zion & for the benefit of the same and for the duty and employment of the Elders -1

Notes

1. After all prayed, the first portion of the revelation of LDS D&C 88 was
received.
